I made a catch this morning in my snare and the animal died with no entanglement. I'm using 3/32 steel cable with a swiveled ends on snare and cable anchor. It had a relaxing washer lock and deer stop. I also had a jump stick for deer but that didn't do any good. How did that happen? Anybody else have this problem? Are there better relaxing locks to use? I have noticed that when an animal is caught it pulls tight and flips and jumps causing the cable at the lock to bind preventing the lock from relaxing. Maybe I could add another swivel midway in the snare? Any thoughts?

I have found washers to often hold tight. Sometimes Hair binds up on the cable/lock area.They are said to be mild locks, but my experience is they are more aggressive then i imagined. The only lock i have found to be truly relaxing, is a Kaatz bros relax-a-lock. Good luck!
